  • What is the proper lemmy community to ask about computer cables?

  • Would it not be better to ask questions in more general communities, and fragment out to smaller communities when we reach a more critical mass of users?

    Asking qurstions in smaller communities rarely fetch an answer

  • Is using an Matrix account from matrix.org private and secure enough to talk with my family members and people in general?

  • You can also set up MollySockets for notifications via unified push!

  • I agree with your points. I'd much rather a decentralized solution would pop up that would be easy to onboard "normies".

    As outlined in this mastodon thread, you can see a few pain points mentioned, a solution offered, but then there's a glitch in fluffy chat that doesn't allow for uName/PW sign up.

    Decentralized alternatives are great in theory, but in order to gain the critical mass of users needed for a successful migration, there needs to be a happy middle that results in better/easier UX. Mastodon is much more fleshed out than matrix in this regard IMO as you don't need to deal with key mgmt, yet you still see users migrating to a less mature platform, Bluesky.

    Dessalines also has a good write up on a few of the other alternatives here. https://dessalines.github.io/essays/why_not_signal.html#abandonment-of-open-source

    Matrix, however, also exposes metadata that can be used to link who is talking to who

    GNUNet seems promising

  • The only instance of being hostile to a 3rd party developer was when they used their name (a trademark) open signal I think it was?

    MollyIm has been alive and well for years. Are there other instances I'm missing?

    Other than that, yes signal is definitely better than WhatsApp with the amount of data they collect.

  • Does deleting old accounts really do much? Once you do something online, you should assume it's there even if you delete it.

    Best you can do is adopt a more privacy conscious way to go about things and just let your old footprint go stale

  • Depends on the bank. Graphene has support for seedvault backups, or you could use syncthing-fork to sync the data over. Or any one of those Foss airdrop clones

  • Finally. Some apps lock dark mode behind a paywall. Should be illegal

    I'm looking at you, accubattery.

  • There's a guide in their subreddit. I was never able to get it to work (set it up like 4 years ago) so I just give iPhone users my apple ID when I'm putting in my phone number

  • You could probably still get one via a shipping forwarder
